This is about right. Bancroft, Powell and Cleveland are creeping up IMO. |

West in the creeping up, maybe. Already there, no. |
| West is creeping up - the OP asked for great - not getting there. |
| It is a subjective question. |
If OP is asking for only great EOTP past K, I'd say only Ross Shepherd Brent Maury LT In that order. I give Shepherd edge over Brent because they have IB program and perform the same with triple the low income students. |
NP...In this city, they are white, black, and Asian. I know plenty "who can afford to move" and they are represented by all groups. |
This! Maybe if they can keep teachers more than two years. Wait until next year to see who is returning. |
| So, it looks like you need to live on Hill if you're ETOP? |
| SWS is not charter, but is city wide and located eotp and most families have stayed -- next year they will have completed their expansion to 5th grade and it doesn't look like many will take the gamble of Eliot Hine. |
| PPs' definition of "great past K" is rather expansive |
Nope. In fact, I'd choose Shepherd #1 due to feeder to Deal and Wilson as well as IB. With Ross and Hill schools you still have to worry about middle and a lot of kids will leave after 4th for charter. |
This. I wonder why this is the case. Also Ross also seems like a sweet little school. And rooting for LT. Overall, though, I'm glad there are starting to be several viable options EOTP. |
| Shepherd is more diverse economically because it still has a decent number of slots for OOB kids, especially in upper grades (same as Lafayette and Murch used had a few years ago). That is gradually changing in the ECE years so I expect the FARMS numbers to decrease in the coming years too. |
Shepherd is not an easy school to get to for much of the city. It is 2 blocks off of 16th St but the general city population who is considering it is a much narrower band. |
